But New Building’s Layout Is not Finished
The project submitted to Yerevan Municipality’s Town Planning Council
by Avangard-Motors Corporation, the owner of the Youth Palace’s
territory, was discussed these days. There have been a number of
suggestions about this matter that will stir up new discussions once
taken into consideration. Yerevan’s chief architect Samvel Danielian
said that the project was not completely finished and there is no
common opinion about the construction.
"The building which will be built in the area belongs not only to the
owner but also to the city. It is the first project which has been
presented to us, consequently it must be widely discussed before its
approval", said Danielian. According to the City Administration, the
territory’s geological and seismic states are normal and don’t overstep
the limits of required norms. "But in any case, at the time of building
an edifice one must make geological specifications. The building now
is at the stage of study", assured the city’s chief architect.
Author of the project is German architect Sergey Choban.
